Statue of Liberty

Pros: Should be experienced at least once in everyone's life
Cons: none

We visited the Statue of Liberty in April 2000. I found out later we were fortunate to have visited on a stormy day as the trip up the 300+ stairs was cool and pleasant...unlike what many summer visitors experience. The 3 hour wait was worth every...

Pros: Unique educational experience, terrific views
Cons: Only accessible by boat

Pros: Great landmark to visit with a good view of city, especially from top
Cons: Lots of lines

If you are planning to visit the Statue of Liberty, prepare to wait in lines and go through security at least once. We arrived at Castle Clinton to get our tickets and board the ferry about 15 minutes before the ticket area opened at 8am. The line was ...

If you're going to be in the Big Apple, this is one site you've got to see. It was a quick subway ride on the 1,9 train from our hotel in upper Manhattan and only cost us $3/pp roundtrip.

The tickets for the ferry were $7.00 per person. This...

Pros: She's beautiful and everything you would expect
Cons: One picture taking con, which is explained below.

I had the wonderful privilege of fulfilling one of my "Top Ten things to do before I die" when I saw the Statue of Liberty. We took a 3 hour Circle Line Cruise around Manhattan which provided some of the most breathtaking views of the city at night....

Pros: beautiful statue, other good views
Cons: none to speak of

The Statue of Liberty is a monument. Monuments are designed to look good from a distance--in this case, quite a distance. Sure, you can go early and go inside, and if you're in that mood it's worth going to see the exhibits there and even climb the...

Pros: Beautiful

Let me set the picture for you... all your life you have wanted your own independance. But somebody or something has been denying you of this chance to be free. So you decided to run away, to the place that best describes "Independance". I...

Lady Liberty, guardian of the New York harbor. The tallest woman in the world, more known for her compassion and integrity than flashy clothing and fast life. She has been involved in politics for over a hundred years, and never has had to be the...

Pros: Great site
Cons: Long Climb up

Climbing up this towing Statue of Liberty is worth the trip up unless you're crippled or have a bad leg because there are a lot of stairs. But once you're on the top you have a great view of the river and the city of NY. It one takes a little while to...

Pros: A major stop for all visiting NYC, A Glorious site in New York Harbor
Cons: Due to security concerns you may not climb inside.

Having lived in the NY area all my life I have had the opportunity to see this great lady up close a number of times, most recently this week. She continues to be an amazing site. I wonder what my grandparents felt when they came to the USA as ...
